sion and in such manner as to permH
of constant surveillance. The yards are
large and spacious, all the rooms white
washed from top TO bottom and y:3u
ventilated, the inner and outer T&ils
even bearing witness to the prOvertsal
Dutch cleanliness. The steps and pa@s-
ages are equally clean, and you woald
look in vain for soiled spot or grain Cd
dust. Not cracked or tarnished pane
of glass can be found in the whole
building. Everything is washed, brush

well envy in many of our American
homes The dormitories are regularly
scrubbed every day, and well ventilated.

Water is general throughout the whols
prison, and is to be met with CT each

compelled to make use of ct stated
times, arc on the ground floor. The
prisoners have three meals per day. In
the morning, lukewarm milk and water
and piece of dry bread; at midday, s
soup composed OF vegetables in the
evening, coffee and brown bread
Sometimes they are allowed small
quantity of fresh meat, but more often
bacon. The prisoners, however. can
improve upon this food by the money
they earn, They have, in fact small

SELFISHNESS.
Various Forms of 1t as Displayed IA V&Rt-
Gus People.

Greed is not entirely confined TO 3ni-
mails OF the porcine breed. There are
various breeds of human hogs which. in
point of seltishnesS, are far ahead OF
those unfortunate creatures that are
mentioned in the New Testament as
having run violently down a steep place
into the seq and porishcd IL the billows.
Greed, Or avaricc, strictly speaking,
is not penal ofense. Byron remarks
cynically: For good old gentlemanly
vice think I'll take up with avarice."
And yet there is very little fun in hoard
ing up money. 1t is almost impossible
TO take any Of it with us when we die
and 60 TO heaven. ''Shrouds, to uOe
the impressive words of some preacher,
whose name we have forgotten
'Shrouds have no pockets" This is e
fact, we presume, although we have
never critically examined many shrouds
TO see il they had pockets or not 1t

son who is invited TO n funeral 10
monkey around the remains searching
for pocket in the shroud merely to
crafty idle curiosity. Such a person
would not be invited n second time TO q
funeral Now that we come to think
we fail TO perceive why a shroud should
have pocket
But we have drifted away from our
text. which was avarice or greed.
There is such thing as mistaken
avsriee. where man. in an effort to
save dime, loses n dollar. An illustra-
ton OF this Is 10 Dc found in the case Of
the negro during slave times. who, hav-
ing bought hat, put il under his coat
TO prevent it being rained on. When
asked why he did not keep his hat on
his head. be replied: '.De hats mine:
bought il wild my own money. Head
belongs 10 massa; let him take keer of
his own property"
This logic was very good. so far as it
went, but when the selfish negro caught
cold in his head from exposure and died
of neuralgia IL great agory, he regret
ted his na-rowminded selfish policy.

is beaten by her husband, the brooch is
often undone by the woman and dash
ed to the ground at his feet. There is
another head ornament, handsomer
than this. 1t consists of central silver
brooch over the forehead, and side

rrAE DOWN-HELL OF LIFE.
4 Dogged Resignation Comes to Men at
the Age of 60.

Those who study the passing chroni-
cles of life in the newspapers of the day,
foreign as well as English, must have
been struck by the increasing number
Df suicides to be attributed to the hope-
iessIess and misery of advancing wears,
says writer in Al the Yea4' Round for
October Tbs d.snal record of suicides
has it5 bearing upon the general state
81 affairs. With advancing prosperity
Sic number OF those who thus fiv the
Ills OF life remains pretty constant
quantity; but any check to material
progress st once swells the ranks of the
selt-slaughtered. Thus, in 1879 suicides
made great spring from an average
OF slxtY-nlne to elghty-One per million,
and 1t IS instructive, if not inspiriting,
to note that by far the greater number
OF cases occur when the medium line of
life is passed. Thus the number of cases
between the ages of 40 and % is far in
advance Oi those at an earlier period,
"hlIe The same remark applies to the
next decade, although here there is
slight decrease from the one Immediate
~ before it, After Gj a dogged resigna-
Iion seems TO take The place of despair,
anu the number Of suicides rapidly dim
mlshes.
Eow, if we take the population re-
turns Tor the last census, we shall find
that, out Of nearly 2G.000, 900, the popu-
ls.sion CT Englauu and Wales, The num-
cer OF men aHu women then in existence
and aged 90 years and upwards is just
khout 100000, or rather more than
ene-Eeventh OF the whole population;
knd we come 10 the remarkable fact
that this elder seventh furnishes at
teast half the number of suicides. And
ahES is surely a strange fact, which
makes us speculate as to. the possibility
OF making life more endurable to the
rank and file of humanity, especially to
thoSe who are verging into years.
The one encouraging fact is that, ae-
eording TO general testimony; the first
steps toward age are the worst. From
30 to 80 has been well called the old
age Of youthful of regrets and vain
revolt against the inevitable But the
following decade. the youth of old aga.
Is ozten marked by renewed vigor and

A nne form, good figure, beautiful

complexion, lovely face, are all out
ward and visible signs of the physical
qualities that on the whole conspire to
make up q healthy and vigorous wife
and mother; they imply soundness, fer
tility. a good circulation, a good diges-
ton. Conversely, sallowneSs and pale
ness are roughly indicative of dyspepsia
and anemia; flat chest is symptom
of deficient maternity, and what we
call bad figure is really in one way or
another an unhealthy departure trom
the central norma and standard of the
race. Good teeth mean good dcgiUti

scrubbiness and undersizedness mean
